Interestingly, Ian Hickson says that styling a DL is difficult, and that he
is having trouble coming up with solutions for dealing with it in CSS3. I'm
not entirely sure what he means by that, since I have no more trouble
styling a DL than I do any other element.
Great! I could use your help;
This[1] glossary of terms and definitions is in the style required for the Example Corps' intranet. It is marked up in a table, and although accessible, it is without any doubt, simply a Definition List.
Both the Example Corps' Intranet Manager and the Creative Director insist that page must render in the current style and look identical on IE6 Windows and Mozilla 1.x based Browsers. It may degrade gracefully on other browsers.
Here[2]is my attempt, I'm stumped (as you can see) by the condition shown in the 4th "row" of key/value pairs.
Can this visual style be implemented simply using a Definition List and CSS, be valid and hack free?
